    HOW IT WORKS

    How to Install Deck Foot Anchor

    DRIVE

    Using a lightweight handheld  ½" electric impact wrench and a 12mm six point socket, drive the auger deep into the soil.

    TIGHTEN

    Tighten the nut and compress the load plate against stop washer below the load plate.

    ATTACH

    Place the post saddle in the desired location. Tighten the upper nut to attach the saddle to the auger and load plate.

    How does Frost affect the Anchor?

    HOW DOES FROST AFFECT THE ANCHOR?

    The Deck Foot Anchor™ does not heave up from the ground like a fence post that is literally popped out of the ground a little bit each year. The Deck Foot Anchor ™ remains anchored to the ground and moves with the soil as it expands up or settles down during freeze or thaw cycles. 

    Use only with freestanding decks, unless the soil does not freeze in your area.


    WHAT IS TERRA-SHIFT™

    Terra-Shift refers to our unique friction release system in the bracket that protects critical post to beam connections on your deck in the event of any seasonal soil movement.


    If any uneven uplift forces are imposed on your footings, posts will slide up or down independently as needed to protect and preserve the post and beam joints from separating.


    Terra-Shift Technology

    COMPRESSION LOAD

    UPLIFT

    Pull out resistance (tension) from undisturbed soil varies by soil type and auger length.  If you are building a project where known uplift data is required please see our Tension Test data for sandy or clay soils based on auger length.  This is data taken from field testing by Intertek in a location in Colorado and is part of an extensive residential code compliance review program this is expected to be completed in the spring of 2022.

    TERRA-SHIFT: A SHOCK ABSORBER THAT PROTECTS YOUR DECK

    AUGERS AVAILABLE IN 24" OR 36" LENGTHS

    Watch this demonstration of how the patented Terra-Shift system works to relieve stresses that may build up during seasonal changes and threaten the integrity of your deck structure.

    Regardless of the harshness of your climate, the post to beam connections supporting your structure will remain strong and sturdy.
    Use the 24" for most applications.  Use the 36" auger when you want more wind uplift resistance or you are building on a slope.  The auger length will make no difference how the Deck Foot will perform in frost as the above animation shows.

    The deck will always be resting on the surface and will rise or descend marginally with the soil expansion and contraction.  But it will always remain securely anchored to the ground.

    LOW OR HIGH ELEVATION DECKS


    GROUND LEVEL

    You can build your deck with joists as low as 2"-3" above grade if you wish. Simply hang the joists from the perimeter joist.  If you want to extend the deck beyond the footing, extend the side perimeter joists 6"-10" and fill with blocking joists along the length.


    EASILY UP TO SIX FEET

    With proper bracing in both directions from 6x6 posts to beams, you can make a six-foot high freestanding deck as solid as a rock.  It's possible to go even higher but it is not intended to support decks at a second-floor elevation.


    Framing and Bracing Techniques
    Wind Zones in the US

    SECURELY ANCHORED: READY FOR HIGH WINDS


    Decks supported by concrete blocks that rest on the surface are susceptible to uplift in high winds and have to be secured to the ground with a webbing of cables and ground spikes.


    The Titan Deck Foot Anchor™ holds your footings securely to the ground. Almost 2/3 of the United States and parts of Canada are in high wind zones. 


    For maximum uplift resistance, consider using the 36" auger. 


    HOW MANY FOOTINGS DO I NEED?

     

    The Rule of Thumb is 6'-0" apart for each footing.  This corresponds to a design load of 50 psf and tributary areas over each footing of 36 sqft.  


    So the total load imposed on the soil below each footing would be a maximum of 1800 psf as the footing is just slightly larger than 1 sqft.


    If you have a large deck where three or more beams are going to be used, consider adding one additional footing along the interior beam.  This is because the tributary loads of any structure are always greatest in the middle.

    USE OUR IMPACT SOCKETS

    Our 12mm high impact six point socket is designed to grip the hexagon drive head without stripping no matter the load. 

    This tiny investment can save headaches on the job site. If you use a low quality twelve point socket that does not fit as well, you are more likely to strip the drive head while under maximum load.

    WARNING: Your experience with the Deck Foot Anchor is entirely dependent on your soil type.  Rocks or roots or a weak impact wrench can prevent the auger from driving fully into the soil and an improperly sized socket can strip the driver head.  Continuous torque for an extended period of time on the auger, once it has been stopped by a rock or immobile obstruction, can destroy the auger. The footing does not provide any significant lateral load resistance and should be used for compression load applications only.

    Multi-Level Hot Tub Deck

    This was a large multi-level deck that really shows off the usefulness of the Titan Deck Foot Anchor™. Three separate areas. All intricately designed to wrap around a hot tub spa and create intimate areas.

    The first area was off the back patio door about 3-1/2' high. The others were lower level platforms over a gradual grade sloping away from the house.

    All 24 footings were installed before lunch hour.

    Another building benefit is being able to use the Titan Deck Foot Anchor™ to easily drop beams within 2" of the grade. Try doing this with a block...

    Low Set Beams


    You can also hang joists from beam face to beam face if you really wanted to hide all the beams of a low-level deck. That is next to impossible to do with blocks.


    First, if we used concrete blocks we would have had trouble figuring out how to get the deck joist framing as low to the ground because they sit higher.


    Second, the deck would just loosely sit on them. Here, each footing and post to beam connection is secured to the ground.


    Third, we didn't want to see cement blocks when you walked by the highest level deck.

    Why Buy From us

    Hello From The Owner

    What People Are Saying About Us...

    Titan Wood Post Anchor
    “My wife and I did some research and found your product and bought a few to try out and boy were we impressed. After installing on two of the posts there was a huge difference in the stability. We immediately ordered 15 more to install on rest of the posts. I thought installation was very easy and we now have peace of mind knowing that our railing is safe. We also have a friend that is redoing a deck and highly recommend they check out your decking system. Oh I almost forgot about the quick service which didn't hold up our project. Thank you for a quality product as advertised.”
    Bradley Parrent - Paris, KY

    Snap'n Lock™ Baluster Kits
    “We used the Snap'n Lock ™Baluster System for our deck railing and we LOVED it. It was so easy to install and looks great! All of our neighbors have been asking about it. They have never seen anything like it.”
    Linda Johnson - Gualala, CA

    Deck Foot Anchor
    “LOVE this product! This deck took about 21 post and there was no way I was going to dig holes and pour concrete all week. Titan deck feet went in to fast and were extremely strong and secure. When I made a mistake in measurement and didn't center one of the post it was so easy to reverse drill and correct! Thanks for this great design! 10+ stars! ”
    Mike S

    Shadow Rail Connectors
    “I love my Shadow Rail Connectors. They were as easy as 1,2,3 to install and couldn't look any better! Highly recommend!".
    Noel Gonzales - Sequin, TX

    Aluminum Post Caps
    “These fit nicely and are a rigid metal cap. The paint looks uniform and slick and they fit nicely on a 5.5 x 5.5 square post. I cut several in half for the half posts that are attached to the house. I think these will last for many years."
    Jessica Wildeman - Divide, CO
